There1
has been1
an1
increase1
in1
demand1
and1
supply for housing all over the1
world. This is
attributed1
to urbanization1
and1
increase1
in1
the1
need1
for accommodation1
for public servants.
Access to housing is a basic human1
right that should1
be1
available1
to all individuals. The1
study
aimed1
to investigate1
how participatory monitoring and1
evaluation1
affect the1
relationship
between1
resource1
management and1
the1
completion1
of Kenya police housing scheme projects.
Specifically, the1
study established1
the1
influence1
of resource1
management on1
the1
completion1
of
Kenya police housing scheme projects, the1
influence1
of participatory monitoring and1
evaluation on1
completion1
of Kenya police housing scheme projects, and1
the1
moderating effect
of participatory monitoring and1
evaluation1
on1
the1
relationship between1
resource1
management
and1
completion1
of Kenya police housing scheme projects. Pragmatism paradigm was adopted.
The1
study used1
mixed1
method1
design. The1
target population1
was 47 police1
housing scheme1
projects in1
8 regional blocks in1
Kenya. The1
unit of observation1
was 1564 respondents, out of
which a sample1
of 319 was selected1
using stratified1
random sampling. The1
research used1
structured1
questionnaire1
and1
interview guides for data collection. The1
qualitative1
data
collectend1
through interviews was analyzed1
using NVivo 12. Quantitative1
data was
descriptively analyzed1
by use1
of measures of central tendencies and1
measures of dispersion.
Pearson correlation analysis was conducted1
for the1
hypothesis to measure1
the1
strength of the1
relationships between1
the1
independent and1
dependent variables. For regression, a stepwise
regression analysis was done which involved estimating the relationship between one
independent variable and one dependent variable. To test the moderating variable, a
regression analysis containing three1
models was used. The1
study found1
a statistically
significant relationship between1
resource1
management and1
completion1
of Kenya police
housing scheme projects (r=0.846, p=0.000<0.05). The1
study also1
found a strong correlation1
between1
participatory monitoring and1
evaluation and1
the1
completion1
of Kenya police housing
scheme projects (r=0.814, p=0.000<0.05). Moreover, the1
research found1
after introduction1
of
participatory monitoring and1
evaluation1
into the1
relationship, and1
the1
interaction1
term in1
model
2 increased1
the1
R square1
by 0.049. This implies that the1
interaction1
between1
participatory
monitoring and1
evaluation1
and1
combined1
resource1
management explains 4.9% variations in1
completion1
of Kenya police housing scheme projects. F was at F (6, 156) =84.002,
p<0.000<0.05) and1
therefore1
the1
overall moderating influence1
was significant. The1
research
concluded1
that facility resource1
management had1
the1
greatest effect on1
the1
completion1
of
Kenya police housing scheme projects, followed1
by information1
technology resource1
management, then1
financial resource1
management, then1
material resource1
management, while1
human1
resource1
management had1
the1
least effect on1
the1
completion1
of Kenya police housing
scheme projects. The1
study recommends that Kenya police housing scheme projects managers
in1
Kenya should1
employ human1
resource1
practices that will ensure1
qualified1
personnel who
are1
well trained1
and1
highly motivated1
to achieve1
projects which are1
completed1
within1
scope,
completed1
within1
budget, completed1
within1
time1
and1
achieve1
quality of the1
houses. In1
addition1
to developing and1
documenting techniques for proper human1
resource1
planning, recruitment,
and1
motivation, it is recommended1
that a comprehensive1
policy framework be1
established1
at
the1
national level. The1
findings would1
contribute1
to practice1
as it would1
benefit construction1
industry professionals and1
contractors operating in1
Kenya. Institutionalizing the policy
framework within existing government structures and regulatory frameworks is crucial for its
successful implementation and sustainability.
